What a great place to have lunch. I've been here many times...I love the antique shop but I always love eating at the cafe too. Everything on the menu I've had is great. Some really great sandwiches which is what I come for ... but also great salads. They have a smoked chicken salad sandwhich On a croissant ( they smoke it in house)... always a favorite. Veggie Delight on Wheatberry.. Provolone, avocado, red onion, tomato, spring mix, pesto may, Palladio sauce ( also great) Turkey Bacon Jam-Brie on Ciabatta Turkey, bacon, bacon habanero jam, red apple, spinach, brie and honey drizzle ( wow) Several others too but you get the idea. You gotta give this a try read more

I always have a cozy experience here. It's very quiet and great for lunch meetings. If you like antiques, you can do lunch and then peruse the antiques and other home decor. The only challenge is parking can be hard to find. read more

Central Ave's best kept secret! Nestled inside an antique store, this cafe makes you feel right at home. I looked up places that had soup, and this popped up in the results. I didn't realize this Cafe had existed in this antique store this whole time! The service is wonderful. The food was quick, delicious, and tasted homemade. You pick a spot to sit and they take care of the rest! Very simple menu with choices of sandwiches and salads. They have a soup of the day and a special sandwich of the day. You HAVE to get their peach mint tea. Artificially flavored for sweetness, but what a refreshing drink. I got a cup of the soup of the day (Chicken Abrezzo) and half sandwich of the Palladino Sub-Club. Came out fast and loved every bite! They also have a patio seating and a selection of desserts, coffee, and teas. It wasn't too busy around lunch time, so definitely a great place to stop and get a bite. If you check in on Yelp, you also get 20% off your entree. Come check this place out! read more

The Sandwich was amazing! It has a little kick at the end it is fresh, sweet and spicy. Service was good and the ambience was pretty cool since the cafe is in an interior design playground. read more

Wow, this food is delicious! I stopped in to purchase a coconut cake, which is the best you will ever try. While here around lunch , I ate a chicken salad sandwich on croissant and "chicken pot pie" soup at the cafe. Both are wonderful and the server genuinely accommodating. No, I don't own stock here nor am I an owner. This lunch is simply a home run. read more

Perfect little lunch spot! I enjoyed trying the pimento cheese sandwich although I was disappointed they were out of chicken salad. Maybe next time! It's a great lunch spot where you can check out antiques, gifts, and home decor, all while surrounded by beautiful modern art. read more

Café Palladio - Adorable cafe in a gift shop and antiques store. - Cafes Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Tucked inside Palladio Antiques, Cafe Palladio is a fun lunch restaurant. It's a pretty simple sandwich and a side kind of place, but their food makes you feel like you're sitting in your mom's kitchen eating homemade salads. Their chicken salad sandwich is always a good choice. You can also get a trio of their salads (chicken, pimento cheese, egg n'olive, tuna, or pasta) with some crackers. That's always a good choice if you want to try many things. Plenty of tables and some patio seating. Usually not too busy for lunch. And it's fun to walk around and look at all the antiques after you eat! Also, definitely get the peach tea - you won't regret it. read more

Lovely courtyard type atmosphere inside of a beautiful antique mall setup. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and efficient. Be sure to try their brie and apple sandwich and their yummy fruity tea. (It's a bit too sweet for me, so I always ask for a glass of water too to dilute it a bit.) After you eat in this quiet venue, be sure to stroll through the booths that surround it. You'll be sure to see something that will strike your fancy. read more

Café Palladio - Great place for lunch. - Cafes Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Cute cafe in the middle of an antique mall. The sandwiches we got were delicious and the coconut cake was very good. Highly recommend for a light lunch. They also have take out items such as quiches, chicken pot pie, etc. read more

I ordered coffee and got brown water. Disgusting. Overpriced like the furniture that surrounds it.

The cafe is located inside the antique store. Walk in and the front desk will point you in the right direction. The food was good. I had chicken salad on a croissant with sweet potato chips. The chicken salad was a little dry, but tasted good. It had grapes and nuts. The chips were really nice and light. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. read more

I really enjoy an afternoon at Cafe Palladio because I can eye a bunch of antiques I can't afford and then hop over to the cafe for lunch. I usually stick with the lunch special, which allows you to pick two half items on the menu. I've only tried the chicken salad on croissant. It's on the sweeter side, which I like, and the chicken has a smoky flavor. I also like their potato soup. Don't forget to try their fruit tea. I usually get the peach flavor. Sweet and refreshing! read more

This place is so cute! The restaurant is in the back and then it's an antique type shop you can also look through, and by antiques I mean nice stuff not old junky things like some antique places I've been. I ordered the half sandwich-chicken with pesto panini and pear Gorgonzola salad. The food is delicious and the portion was great for a lite lunch, maybe the price could have been little less for amount of food $13, I think $10 or so would have been more appropriate but hey I'm not going to complain over $3. Cute place come try it out. My server was also friendly and attentive. read more

A sense of duty forces me to disclose that the owner of Cafe Elan is my friend's sister, though fortunately the restaurant deserves a good review in its own right. It's easy to forget this place is here, tucked into a refurbished antique mall near Cooper-Young. However, they do a nice line in homemade lunch for the business crowd; if you work in the area, their sandwiches, soups, and salads are quite tasty. There's even a small patio for the few weeks in the year when Memphis isn't broiling or freezing. read more

I really enjoyed Cafe Palladio, I loved the small cafe in the middle of the store, I loved looking at all the stylish, expenisve things for purchase and I really enjoyed the food. There was quite the mix of interesting people enjoying the food, which proves this place has something for everyone. The corn chowder was very tasty and that was the best salad I have had since moving to memphis (the one with cranberries and almonds). The downfall was the panini, in the sandwhich world it was a normal sandwhich, in the panini world it was mediocre. Go for the salad, go for the Soup but I would pass on the panini! The dessert looked delicious but I didn't partake. read more

I can't believe that I had never tried Cafe Palladio. Go figure that I would find this place only after moving away from Memphis. It is such a neat little cafe tucked away in a cute shop. Everything from our friendly waiter, the amazing tea (you have to try it!), incredible sandwiches and decadent desserts were perfect. Perfect spot for a lunch date with the girls! read more

Excellent choice for a cold day. Wonderful selection of hot teas. I asked my server to surprise me with lunch - she did a fabulous job. I was brought the Sub Club and the corn chowder. Such a great combo with my Earl Grey tea! Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Café Palladio - Tea with a 2 minute timer! Love this! - Cafes Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Love this cafe for a girls lunch. I didn't eat, but the peach tea - no sugar! was the best! We talked a lot and the server keep refilling my tea until I floated away. After lunch we walked around and chatted. Perfect afternoon on a cold day. Great way to get out of the house read more

This place was adorable. I had the garden sandwich and fruit salad with the peach mint tea. The cakes looked delicious and the sun room would be great for a bridal shower or girls lunch. read more

Their food is superb. While I feel like I bring down the median age of the patrons by three decades when I go, Palladio's service and food are exceptional wins. Favorites include the Dixie Delight (add bacon!), any of their fruit-infused salads, and their chicken salad croissant. If you're a fan of fruit tea, it's another win. But promise me if you go, you MUST absolutely have to order their divine coconut cake. I don't mean it's divine as in a superfluous adjective, I mean you must order it because it was sliced off marshmallow clouds in heaven and sent to you as a gift from the Heralds on High. Trust me. read more

The food was pretty good and the service was 'ok', though not too friendly. We thought the food was way overpriced for the small amount of food. read more

I absolutely love the menu at Cafe Palladio. The atmosphere is upbeat and bright as you are surrounded my beautiful artwork. The cafe is located directly in the center of all the gorgeous antiques and furniture offered by Palladio Antiques and Art. If you are in the area, try the fruit and cheese sandwich, Yummy read more

Nice, pleasant, casual but classy atmosphere, friendly service, great menu selection, in a trendy part of Midtown. I recommend the fried green tomato sandwich. A little pricey for Memphis but well worth it. read more

Just the place to go for that special lunch date. Situated in the middle of various antique stores, it is not obvious from the street and the location makes it so very different from other places. As if the location were not enough, the food is excellent and the service quiet, polite, unobtrusive and efficient leaving you and your special friend to enjoy their fare and a memorable quiet time together. read more

This is a super cool antique store that you'd never guess had a cafe in the back of it (or even from the outside really... unless you knew about it prior to). It's right next to the urban outfitters on central- in a big building run by an eclectic collector/seller of great art, antiques, furniture etc. I was told to go by reference, so I made my way out there, about a 10 minute drive from downtown, and walked in the door. Someone pointed me to the direction of the cafe, who was sort of indifferent or in conversation with what looked like someone that also worked there, but the cafe itself was awesome. I got an off the menu summer salad with fresh blue berries, mandarin oranges, nuts and cheese and added chicken to it. It was cooked perfectly and went along great with a balsamic vinaigrette. My server, Sami, was super nice and made great suggestions, like the unsweetened raspberry tea they have, which was amazing, and their signature coconut cake that the owner makes. I had both, and with no regret! The cake was huge so I took the rest home. They have great spacious seating and even a mini patio outside thats gated/gardened and it looks super cute. I wasn't really sure if this review would count toward the cafe and the store, so I gave it 4 stars because no one offered to help me in the store as I probably looked really confused/had no idea where I was going, but the cafe manager and server did. Either way, I would definitely love to come here for lunch again. read more
